Mickey Rourke at lunch in Beverly Hills.
Here’s my personal hero, Mickey Rourke, at lunch yesterday in Beverly Hills. Rourke’s lunch consisted of Diet Coke and a pack of Ciggy’s. All old man moob jokes aside, I’d still hit it.
No, this is why you’re fat…
Food, Inc., a film that goes behind the scenes of the food industry, opens tomorrow in Seattle. The films director Robert Kenner hopes Food will raise awareness about the foods we eat, how that food is cultivated (or created quite frankly) and the giant corporations that control it all. Corporations like Monsanto or ConAgra. Both Montsanto and ConAgra own or have their hands in an overwhelming number of consumables that line the shelves of category-killing supermarkets like Kroger.
Kenner says that more education is key in order to create the necessary paradigm shift in the average consumer’s shopping habits. What it all boils down to is this. Once you find out where your food really comes from and what’s in it, you might pass the next time someone offers you a hot-dog-on-a-stick.

Well, sort of anyway. The part of Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson will now be played by Micko Larkin. Bassist Melissa Auf der Maur is laying down some vocals on what will be Hole’s new record, Nobody’s Daughter (due out sometime in 2010) and may even tour with Hole once the record is released.
NME captured Love in the studio and breaks the new record down, track by track. Check it.
Some Butthole Surfers.
The original Butthole lineup of Gibby Haynes, Paul Leary, Jeff Pinkus, King Coffey and Teresa Taylor announced on their website that the band plans to tour North America and Canada starting this September. For those of you that slept through Geography class, Seattle is in North America. I saw the Butthole Surfers at EMP in 2001 and that show still ranks high on the list of the greatest things my ears have ever heard.
Thanks to the Mad Irish Man for the link.
Cheeseburger in a can.
German company Trekking-Mahlzeiten puts things like Beef Stroganoff and Cheeseburgers in cans so outdoorsy people can eat them while they are trekking through the wilderness.
Cherrybombed.com is about the music and culture of the Pacific Northwest, as well as other cool happenings around the world. We also shine a spotlight on celebrities behaving badly. Here, you will find videos, low-brow artwork and images, and tattoos only a mother could hate.
If boozing was an olympic event, we would be on a box of Wheaties. If this all sounds familiar to you (and your mother), welcome home.
You can listen to DJ Cherrybomb occasionally, when she's conscious.
